Mexican Attorney General investigates alleged cartel killing site amid irregularities

TEUCHITLAN, JALISCO, MEXICO - MARCH 20: An aerial view of the Izaguirre Ranch as Mexico's Attorney General, Alejandro Gertz Manero, is investigating an alleged cartel killing site and training camp in Teuchitlan, Jalisco, after state authorities failed to properly handle evidence in Teuchitlan, Jalisco, Mexico on March 20, 2025. The site, discovered in September 2024, has been dubbed the "ranch of horror" by local media. A search collective recently found charred bone fragments, clothing, and personal items, raising concerns about the initial probe by the Jalisco State Prosecutor's Office. Gertz Manero reported that investigators failed to register evidence and fingerprints, did not analyze suspected cremation sites, and neglected to determine ownership of the ranch. Additionally, three impounded vehicles were stolen, and local officials linked to the site were not arrested. (Photo by Stringer/Anadolu via Getty Images)
